I’m in my 30s and already have a network of ex-coworkers in a number of companies who could get me in the door where they’re at currently if I needed. If a 50 year old hasn’t maintained contacts for this it’s kind of on them.

I’ve put a great deal of effort into building and keeping up relationships with these people and demonstrating my value as a coworker to them. It didn’t fall into my lap. I’m also quite socially anxious by nature so I had to overcome that.
